Flipping and Pitching creature baits is a key tactic to catching more during hot summer days. You will catch more Bass in the thick reeds and thick vegetation in those hot summer days.
The truth is that some of the biggest bass in the body of water that you fish live in heavy cover. However some dams are loaded with heavy vegetation and this can be overwhelming. First thing in the morning I start throwing a top water bait around that submerged grass to try and get those bass to eat. Key is to try and target those grass lines, grass points and shady areas around vegetation.
Once the sun comes out and is to high for those bass I target the middle water column like fishing high percentage areas like points, pockets and any irregularity in that shallow water. When you are faced with a lot of cover like grass or reeds you can really focus on the areas like grass points or pockets in the reeds to be able to fish fast and eliminate water.
Fishing a moving bait through cover doesn't always work but it helps to figure the bass out if they active or lethargic. After figuring out the bass are feeding slow I start pitching the reeds or any type of cover to see if I can't get a fish in the boat. It is really important to play around with different styles of creature baits. I will use a creature bait with fast moving legs and I will use a creature bait with legs that have no action. the bass will give you an indication which they will wanna eat.
Flipping and pitching creature baits can be tricky because you need to be very accurate in getting the bait in the areas the bass are hiding. This can depend if the bass are in the thick reeds, edges or even in transitions like reeds lilies and grass all in one.
I think to keep in mind is that the bass are hiding in the shaddy areas of the dam. Shad is cover and cover is where the bass hide.
